THE Chicago Herald, in few well-chosen
sentences, disposes of Ives, who "aspired
to be a greater Gould or more resplendent
Vanderbilt" Ives for a time, travelled at
a laundering gait toward the hundred
million goal. In various ways he had Sc
cured 100000 900 assets, but liabilities
managed to keep up with the procession,
and suddenly the crash came and Ives
went down. Legitimate trade says the
Herald, lawful profits, enterprises within
the lines of conscience, never piled up q
fortune of hundred millions within q
single lifetime. Several such fortunes
and numbers of others scarcely less tre-
mendous, have been accumulated since
the civil war, but by what methodist The
few who have achieved this questionable
success are they who have plucked the
fruits of corrupted legislation, debauched
judiciary and unrighteous public subsi-
dies. The oppressed majority have paid
the fiddler, and are paying for this unholy
dance of multi-millionaires which now
goes merrily on" The question naturally
arises, how long will the oppressed ma
i5rity" pay the fiddler? When, in all
probability, will the ''unholy dance cease2
When will legislation cease being corrupt,
and when will debauched judiciary be
purified? There is no donbt about the
corrupted legislation, no doubt about the
debaEched judiciary and no doubt about
the accumulation of fortunes of i'm menss
proportions by criminal methods. The
questions are, when will a change come and
how will it be brought about? Many
think that there is danger of applying q
remedy worse than the disease. History
is not entirely silent upon such subjects
and history does sometimes repeat itself.

A COURT IN RUINS.

Possibly some of our readers have seen
a western village after it had been caressed
by cyclone. If so, they have very COR
rect idea of the power of wind to produce
wrecks. II such spectacle as a wrecked
village is not photographed upon the mind
of the reader, we are satisfied they have
ssen ruins wrought by the fire fend" ia
cities and villages and elsewhere as they
have journeyed through the country. 1t
is quite probable the reader has walked
along the strand where ships, unable to
breast the storm, have been tossed By the
pillows upon rocks and reefs and wrecked

everywhere, the sight and contemplation
Of which excite feelings of sadness. The

BIG guns are now all the rage for war
ships. Manifestly the old prophet, when
he foressw the good time coming, when
nations should learn war no more, did not
obtain glimpse of the big guns con-
structed during the full orbed moon OF
Christian civilization at the close of the
nineteenth century. 1t is remarked with
much satisfaction that during the past
thirty years great progress has been made
in the construction of big guns. In 1860
the largest guns could only throw ball,
weighing sixty-eight pounds, with an
initial velocity of 1870 feet a second, and
an energy of LOO foot tons, but now
initial velocities have been increased to
2,100 feet. They weigh as much as $500
pounds, and IN some cases require for their
propulsion nearly 200 pounds of powder.
France has on some of her iron-clads guns
which weigh seventy-six tons, which de-
liver projectiles weighing 1,716 pounds
with muzzle velocity of ,739 feet pei
second, having muzzle energy of $4,000
foot tons. The Italians have guns on then
ships weighing 100 tons which throw balls
weighing 2ONO pounds. Englsni, how aver
beats the world for big guns, having con-
stTucted one which weighs about IA tons;
the projectile weighs 1 500 pounds and il
has an actual muzzle velocity of 2,078 feet

The Journal has had the indiscrstion to
drag Morton from his quiet resting place,
and make him appear again in the
Republican procession, for the purpose of
creating hostility to the Democratic party.
We simply suggest to the Journal, that
that sort of damPhooIism won't win a
single vote. Morton, long since, ceased to
be trump card, and the reason why is
easily told. The proper thing for the
Journal to DO, is to let Morton severely

Babies in Summer.

A summer subject OF interest TO all moth
ers with young children is thus discussed in
the New York Tribune by Sarah E. Post,
NJ. d., of that city
"Tc scaId milk, first take thick glass
1ottle-a soda water bottle will do-fll it
with milk nearly up to the neck and place
il uncorked in kettle of cold water.
Gradually bring this to boil, and continue
the boiling for forty minutes, then cork the
bottle while the steam is escaping, with q
rubber cork, and remove il. Milk thus pre-
pared will keep for month in cool place.
This statement may seem extravagant, but
it can be proved true. DR.. Hermeu Knapp,
Of this city, has IN his laboratory TASKS of
milk which are months old, and are yet per-
fectly sweet. The method of preserving by
boiling in an open vessel and corking dur.
ing the escape Of steam is familiar to all who
have canned fruit. This method has not
been earlier applied to milk perhaps because
curdling has been considered natural to
milk after certain period, and something
which could not be avoided. Since the pro-
gress of the germ theories, however, it has
been shown that even this everyday phe.
nomenon is due to fermentation, and that
like many other lamentations, it de-
pends upon the growth Of min
ute vegetable organism similar in char.
acter to yeast ormod. The milk is
tainted by the germs of this organism
through the can or bottle which receives
it, or by contact with the atmosphere per.
haps, and the organism Develops at the ex-
pense OF nutriment in the milk, with the for
nation Of acid and gas. This development
eau be postponed by keeping the milk cold
our usual way of preserving its sweetness.
Though sweet however, it will be seen that
cold milk is not necessarily pure; it may
contain the germs which, introduced into
the stomach, will find the heat needed and
fermentation occurs there, with colics and
even more serious complaints as its result
1t is now considered that the introduction
Of these germs with the food is the greatest
danger in hand feeding. preserving milk
tGges over our ordinary methods. By the
heat applied we pretty thoroughly destroy
any germs in the process of development,
while by corking during The escape of steam
we exclude air and later contamination.
Further, the disagreeable scum usual in
boiled milk is avoided and the teste of the
milk is unchanged. It is hoped that this
dainty and effective way of preserving milk
VII be widely adopted during the coming
mon4',s. For babies use it cannot be too
strongly recommended. The milk, as it ar
rives, car be Immediately scalded and cork
ed, and aiterward diluted and prepared as
required. When intended for use during q
Journey it viii be found especially valuable.
When, however, the bottle he's been once
opened it should be quickly emptied, and
any portion not consumed at once should be
thrown away"

a PITIFUL SCENE.-Mrs. Cignarale, the
condemned murderess, cried for Joy yester-
day noon when her daughter was brought
to the Tombs in New York for the first time
since her Imprisonment. The seven.year-
old child, in her striped calico dress, was
brought to the matron's room by four of the
sisters of ST. Joseph's Home, in which in
stitution the child was placed by the muir
dered man. Mrs. Walsh, the warden's wife,
and Matron McKeon thought best to pre-
pare the poor mother for the interview,
caring That sudden appearance OF the
child might prove too much for the woman
in her weak condition. The mothers in
stinct, however, was too quick. She glanced
at their faces, and rose from her couch
exclaiming in Italian, my child, my child
is here" The murderess was led into the
matron's room, where The child was. Mrs.
Cignarale's deep-sunkeD eyes flashed with

ran forward, and with loud cly Of happi-
ness, threw her arms around her. The
mother hugged The child to her bosom, and
kissed her repeatedly murmuring, "Oh my
Rosine my Rosine." The griefstricken
mother rapidly told in Italian the stolg OF
her woes, the child sobbiDg in childish grief
in sympathy. Little Rosine would put her
arms around Mrs. Ciguarale's neck and kiss
her, murmuring, mater, Mater" For
three hours the child remained. Wnen

they stood sobbing and moaning, until the
sisters were compelled to separate them.
The sisters promised to bring the little girl
regularly hereafter, until the fatal day ap.

this was done After the girls departure,
Mrs. Cignarale ate heartily.
